What does the author mean when she says, “The price of not reading
proficiently comes hard and fast and will often leave those who struggle
with a payment too heavy to ever pay back.” ? *

A. She doesn't know what it's like to be illiterate.
B. Being illiterate has consequences sometimes too great to fix.
C. Reading is not a necessary skill to be successful in life.
D. Learning to read in later years can often prove to be expensive.

b because the quote is talking about the consequences that come with "not reading proficiently" (illiteracy)

ok do the correct answer is idk vgfhsbv #fu

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
